Research direction
Start in src/email/email.js at the call around line 49 and read the nodemailer-openpgp signingKey documentation. Confirm how the keyserver's public key would be hosted by the keyserver, then verify that outgoing messages are signed and retain their existing delivery behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
It seems natural to sign the messages being sent out :)
Luckily, the api used by keyserver claims to support this already: https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemailer-openpgp
Adding signingKey to the call here https://github.com/mailvelope/keyserver/blob/master/src/email/email.js#L49 should do the trick.
The keyserver's public key can be hosted by the keyserver itself; the benefit of signing the message is just to give users more assurance of the origin of the message before they blindly click a link which has been sent to them.
